We have an excellent-quality 77 stereo mix sourced primarily from the Japanese P&S Laserdisc (digital audio), and patched over with audio from analogue Laserdisc sources when needed, already synced to the video we're talking about. We also have a lesser-quality 1977 mono mix and a fine 1977 6-channel reconstruction. If home video release and top-notch quality are requirements, then 1977 stereo is the best option IMO.
VHS... *spits* ...we absolutely positively do not ever have to deal with that crap. Heck, even if we want the 93 mix, I'd recommend at least using a Laserdisc-derived copy for the improved quality over DVD. We've already got one of those synced too.
